Better speaker

Is there better speaker in the new Ipad 2?

Hi folks, I am an audio engineer and I can tell you that the first iPad resonates bass and low mid range frequencies in the body of the device. The whole iPad resonated sound and so it seemed to come more from the center of the iPad.
The new iPad 2 is brighter in the high mids and treble, this is why some say the sound is better, when it's just crisper. But it lacks bass and low mids, so the sound seems to come from the side and back. So it's a subjective choice for listeners as to which they prefer. It seems because of the small size of the iPad 2, bass has to sacrificed. Then again size, speed, camera, and graphics may matter more than sound quality.

New touch better speaker?

does the new touch that was just releases have a better speaker than generation 2? Are there any other differences? I am thinking of upgrading my gen 1 to one with a speaker. I can either buy a refurb or a new gen 3?
Also is there any value today in the faster processor?

having upgraded from a 1G to a 3G, the difference in speed is definitely noticeable. the only other major difference is voice control (but you need the hardware for it - the 3Gs come with earphones that contain a mic, but i've never liked apple's earphones)
can't compare the speakers, havent read anything to suggest it is different, but its definitely nice to have (whether it be on a 2/3G)

Improved speaker volume on late 2007 MacBooks?

I just bought a new 2.2 ghz black MacBook last week. The internal speaker volume sounds fine to me.
Did the Santa Rosa chip set fix this problem?

In the older ones, it was pitiful. So I do hope Apple did upgrade the speakers, it could make customers happy.

It isn't exactly pitiful. I've heard that Apple released a firmware that lowered the maximum output. To fix this, you can download Audio Hijack. You can set the volume up to 200%.

I have not configured my new MacBook Pro yet but I have a few questions.
1. I have been using Tiger for the past 3 years and will be using Snow Leopard (installed, I hope) with the new MacBook. Is there anything anyone can think of (besides not making the mistake again and not upgrading to Leopard to get me prepared a bit more for Snow Leopard) that will make the transition from this MacBook Pro, which is acting like an old PC that is infected with all types of viruses and other ad ware, spy ware, etc. I am not sure what it going on, other than the fact that I have never known or received a clear answer on what I should be doing to keep the machine in top condition.
I o have to gt a new one for the grad architecture planning program I am starting, but I would like to get this machine in the est possible position I can and try to sell it.
So any advice or areas I should think about? I have the new OS X Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual by David P. and I think it will help me a lot/
One very specific question I have is trying to purchase the correct CD/DVD for making a copy of the Deluxe TechTool, songs, back-up docs (which I have never done but am planing on getting a really durable external drive to mostly send the back-ups to. On to the CDs at Costco and Best Buy I have not fond a sales person who can explain to be what all the various initials mean and which ones are the best to have for saving things and using the same CD for saving additional date of it is not full and if I want to be able to go back and erase some of the date and r-write over it.
the last CDs I purchased, I put a few songs on one and I could not put anything else. Maybe there is an article that focuses on this topic and explains all the various initials but I really need to learn this. Any help would be much appreciated. Also is there a difference in the sound of recorded music when burning music using a CD that I can keep using until it is full and if I want to make it so that I can't (or any of my brothers can't copy over what I have burned on to the CD?) Not sure if that makes sense. Is there a better quality CD that one would use for music only and when the CD is full I would be ale to do something so that this specific CD can't be used again when it is full, and I make it unusable if anybody tries to add or take away from it.
Thanks. I hope this is not to long. I am really excited to use a different mac and operating system and I hope it all works out. I think it is awesome what some of you guys and gals do by helping us less intelligent one figure some of this stuff out. guys I better speak for myself. So, Thank you!

Why not use an event
Add a While Loop, inside the loop add the Event Sructure.
Now in the event structure selecd the String Controls.value change event to

and the new value inside the event that you get,( connect to the String
indicator box.

How do I use AppleTV with Airpla with wirless speakers in multiple rooms

I like to think this should be simple but I cannot find out how to do it reasonably. I have a family room with a flat screen and have successfuly connected Apple TV to it. I have successfully connected my various devices (iPad and iPhones) to the AppleTV with Airplay.
The TV speaker ***** and I want to add a better speaker system to it in the family room; so far so good. My wife likes to also be able to hear the music in the living room without cranking the volume up to deafening.
Is there a way I can connect my airplay devices to the speakers through my AppleTV and to another (wireless) set in another room.
In an ideal world I could hook up wireless speakers (surround preferrable) with my AppleTV in the family room and a nother set in the living room. I could even have separte zones so i could watch TV on one set and she could lissten to music (wirless/airplay)_ in the other room. The speakers in the family room with the TV could be wired through the TV if that was necessary.
Obviously I would like to avoid latency between speakers so the ones in the family room and the ones in the living room are in sync if we are playing to all speakers through one source at the same time.
Thanks for any help.

Whilst the Apple TV is able to receive AirPlay signals it cannot send them, your best option is a hard wired receiver with second zone.

ITunes 7.0.1.8 experiences - Here's what got fixed for me...

After news of the iTunes 7.0.1.8 update broke out today, I downloaded it and have used it for a little while.
I'd thought I'd share my experiences so far, but please take note that I did not do any CD burning/importing tests, nor do I own an iPod to sync content to or a 5.1 set of speakers to play songs with. I have heard that this update dramatically fixes the slow recognition and sync times for iPods and that there is better speaker recognition for surround sound systems, but I can't personally confirm this.
My current audio settings in QuickTime are at 48kHz, 16-bit, QuickTime Music Synthesizer. Safe Mode is disabled. These have been my withstanding settings since iTunes 6. To my knowledge, all sound drivers and video drivers are up to date. Hardware acceleration is at full, and DirectX is also up to date.
Some problems I noticed in iTunes 7.0.0.10, in no order - and whether they've been fixed or not in iTunes 7.0.1.8:
Problem: Cover Flow view was slow to respond and had album art rendering issues. I didn't get the diagonal lines, but it definitely bogged down my system. Most likely a memory leak.
With 7.0.1.8: Partially fixed. CPU usage doesn't skyrocket as much, but the flow animations still stutter and album art rendering still lags. Once the art is loaded into RAM, however, Cover Flow is as smooth as ever and does not max out at 100% CPU for me.
Problem: Download manager was unresponsive. iTunes would crawl when playing a song and downloading something, as menu commands, pausing/unpausing, etc. was delayed by up to a minute. CPU usage at 100%.
With 7.0.1.8: Mostly fixed.The download manager is now noticably speedier, and is responsive to user inputs with pausing downloads, scrubbing songs, etc. However, CPU usage is still at 95%-100% when a download is running.
Problem: Gapless playback caused distortion.
With 7.0.1.8: Fixed. Gapless playback now works correctly and seamlessly, without causing distortion in the first or last few seconds of a song or delaying playback.
Problem: Audio playback became distorted and skipped when running any other applications, such as a web browser.
With 7.0.1.8: Partially Fixed - Your results may vary. Audio no longer messes up horribly anymore -- even when the voume is less than 100% -- which is great. However, small skipping is still apparent when browsing in Firefox or even in the iTunes Store. This happens sporatically, however, as I'm browsing now and there is no studdering, though minutes ago browsing caused some skips. CPU usage spikes to 100% momentarily when this occurs. Nonetheless, it is still a MAJOR improvement from before, and now I believe that skipping exists due to my only having 256MB RAM in this PC. Your results may vary.
Problem: Newly downloaded album art did not actually get embedded into the music file, and iTunes didn't find album artwork for tracks that were in the iTunes store.
With 7.0.1.8: Not fixed. Downloaded album art from iTunes 7 is not embedded into the actual file, and needs to be copy-pasted back in the Artwork tab of the "Get Info" window. One non-related fix, though, is that album art can now be manually added in the album viewer on the bottom left of the window for multiple tracks at once. For downloading artwork (I did not set this as 'automatic' in my iTunes preferences but did it manually), I recommend matching the store listing 100% with track numbers, capitalizations, etc. and making sure the ID3 tags of MP3 files are v2.2 or higher.
Problem: At random times, checkboxes did not actually check or uncheck when clicked on; this was especially true in the Podcast library. Only a manual right-click menu selection would check or uncheck an item.
With 7.0.1.8: Fixed. No more checkboxing issues so far.
Problem: Visualizer size setting in Preferences -> Advanced tab (Small, Medium, Large) did not actually take effect.
With 7.0.1.8: Not fixed. The visualizer still plays in the "large" setting, no matter what the setting is; I believe this is a bug. In addition to this, when in Cover Flow view and changing to the visualizer, Cover Flow leaves an intrusive snapshot on top of the visualizer, which isn't fixed until switching out of the visualizer and changing back to the list or album view.
Problem: Video playback stuttered when viewing on-screen controls, and the controls didn't appear when the mouse was over the video and iTunes was in mini player mode or minimized. Clicking on the video at that point stopped playback and closed the video window.
With 7.0.1.8: Not fixed. While video playback is snappier in iTunes 7 in general, this little oversight hasn't been touched yet. I also believe part of it is because of a lack of RAM on my computer, but would've liked to see more smooth playback like what was found in the last revision of iTunes 6, in addition to the added controls.
Problem: Adding ratings from within the library is a little hit-or-miss; I have to click on a certain edge of the star to select it.
With 7.0.1.8: Not fixed. I have to click pretty firmly on the ratings column in my iTunes library, or just do it manually by right-clicking or doing it in the Get Info window.
I think that covers most of what I personally found in the previous version of iTunes 7. I didn't previously have the importing problem or settings fail to save (sans the visualizer), however. (Feel free to add to this thread with your experiences if you'd like.)

UPDATE/EDIT FROM PREVIOUS POST:
Ok. The new 7.0.18 does repair the volume slider audio issue. HOWEVER, Simply installing the new update (at least for me) did **NOT** fix the problem. After posting my previous post, I tried to remove Quicktime and iTunes completely and try reinstalling.
It turns out that when I uninstalled Quicktime from Add/Remove Programs, it didn't remove all the Quicktime files and it was not reinstalling Quicktime afterwards!!
I only noticed when I downloaded the standalone version of Quicktime and tried running it and it said a "newer version" was on my computer, though it did not show up on my Add/Remove Programs file listing.
So I looked in the usual places and found that I had a Quicktime folder remaining in the Program Files folder and one in the C:\Windows\system32 folder. I also had to manually remove the following files from the C:\Windows\system32 folder:
Quicktime.qts, QuickTimeMusicalInstruments.qtx, the Quicktime.Resources folder, QuicktimeVR.qtx and the QuickTimeVR.Resources folder.
The main problem is that iTunes didn't let me know there was an issue with the QuickTime installation. It just wouldn't run iTunes. There should have been a notification.
Anyway, after all this, I reinstalled iTunes fresh and checked the volume slider and LO' And Behold! The volume slider issue was repaired.
However, there is a LOT of skipping occurring that never happened before. Not sure what's up with that. CPU usage stays low and then I get a few skips per minute...UNACCEPTABLE!!! That didn't happen before and that issue will still need to be fixed. Until then, back to WinAmp. Thx a LOT Apple...you *#^@ing hosers!

Creative inspire t6300 5.1 surround on mac pro 1.1, optical out to 5.1 audio gear (digital sound decoder).

Hi there,
Been searching and trying a lot but no luck so far. I have a surroundset Creative Inspire t6300
to be able to add some more fun to movies and a few games on my mac.
I own an upgraded Mac Pro 1.1 under Snow leopard, 2.33 gHz, dual processor, 8 core, 8 gb memory.
Even though it`s a piece for the museum, it works very well for designwork I do for work. No real need
to update for me, so....
As I understand, the optical out is standard 5.1. (By the way, the only other ports are the basic sound ports out
and in on the Mac). So after some research I found and got the 5.1 audio gear decoder. I connected this with
an opticle cable and used the 3,5 jackets from the surroundset to connect to (from left to right) cen/sw, (yellow
jacket) fl/fr (green jacket), sl/sr (black jacket) on the decoder. All perfectly understandable and it seemed to work well.
But when I tested with some of the testfile you find when googling on that, I think there is something wrong,
the typical surround effect is not there, it rather sounds more like stereo or even 5 mono`s.
I`ve tried Soundflower and JackPilot, but couldn`t get it right. With Soundflower I was able to choose 5.1 setting
(was not possible before) but testing it didn`t work.
There is an extensive test of the decoder on the net by someone who really is deep into the technics of it all but
no luck there either.
Back to basics: is it right that the optical out is truely 5.1 on the mac? With several tests the unit SFE does not react.
But when I play some music with iTunes, it works (loud and clearly :-)). Maybe I need a visit to the audiologist ;-) ?
Anyone?

Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

Does anyone know how to access the sound software on a Mid 2010 Mac Pro? I have a Logitech Z906 5.1 surround system with fiber optic in and out, I only seem to be able to get stereo and simulated 5.1 sound .

A mid 2010 Mac Pro, trying to get 5.1 surround out of the onboard sound software using fiber optic out connected to a Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker sys. with fiber optic in and out, all I get is stereo and simulated 5.1 sound out of the speakers. In utilities, Audio Midi Setup I can't get the Mac to see the Logitech speakers for 5.1 speaker configuration. Without being made to feel like a dummy, does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Carl

Problem with children of HtmlDataTable

Hi,
I'm trying to highlight a row in a HtmlDataTable by clicking on it but ran into a confusing problem.
I can access the table and when I fetch the children I get as many as the table has columns, so far so good. But when accessing the children (or better speaking the columns) I noticed that each one only has ONE child (HtmlOutputText), although the table contains two rows at startup. So where did my data go?
When I change the style of this one child the whole column changes.
Can somebody explain to me whether this is normal behaviour? And what do I have to do to access the individual cells of a column?
Cheers
Simon
Edited by: schneidc on Dec 2, 2009 2:22 AM

That's correct. UIData uses the flyweight pattern for it's children components, so when looking at the component tree, you will only ever see the children as defined in the view.
If you want to access a specific value, you need to set the row index prior to accessing the component. This populates the component with the information from the backing DataModel.

What to do with apr

There exists an out of date package in extra called apr. It was originally there because we were using the old version of apache (1.3) but now apache 2.0 includes apr.
I understand that development continues on apr seperate from apache and that they probably make more releases than apache does, but, apart from that, are there any compelling reasons to continue with apr?
I have some reasons to get rid of it:
1) having apr and apache (with apr included) means that depends are more difficult (especially if the apr version in apache is different than the apr package's version)
2) keeping apr probably means that it will be stripped from the apache package and any apr updates will have to be tested with the current version of apache
I'm not looking for what-ifs, I'm looking for concrete examples, most importantly, "package x won't build with apache's apr version because it's too old."
Those of you who have built packages that need apr had better speak up. I'll leave 5 days for discussion and if there are no good reasons, it's out.

well as i mentioned before subeversion without an apache depend could/may/would be an assest to some i am sure. the same discussion recently took place on crux and the decision was to use the independent version of apr for subversion.
that is just an example i don't use either nor really care but since you asked i volunteered.

Not getting sound AT ALL in iTunes 7 on WINDOWS

Contrary to what it says in the model/OS fields, I also own a PC desktop machine running Windows XP Pro SP2. It is my desktop machine and thus has a much better speaker system than my MacBook, and I don't have to unplug a million things when I take my MacBook to school.
Anyway, I'm not getting any sound out of iTunes on my WinXP machine. I've tried the "Safe Mode GUI" thing and playing with my settings in QuickTime to no avail. I can't figure out what's wrong. It works fine with my MacBook Pro, however.
HELP!!!

1) Which of the audio-out ports are your speakers connected to?
thank you again, Nathan! that was the crucial issue in a couple of the Audigy threads i've been involved in.
at the moment, in 7.0.0.70 sound-problem threads, i'm mostly just "patrolling point" with the standard troubleshooting document on sound issues, making sure that a bunch of the usual suspects are off the table:
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly
... if there's an Audigy issue afoot, i generally leave it to the folks who have more experience with the Audigy tweaking to work through the more advanced issues. (don't think i can take on another advanced-advice field at the moment without becoming completely swamped.)

Does anyone know of a mini sterio with surround sound and optical input in Mac Mini form factor?

Does anyone know of a mini sterio with surround sound and optical input in Mac Mini form factor?
I use a Mini as the family media center and would like to have 5.1 or 7.1 sound for films but don't want a huge piece of eletronic equipment (I have one of those, but it isn't hooked up because it doesn't fit on the bookshelf). Years ago I used a PC and still use the Creative Audigy speaker system (Jimmy rigged to the Mini) that I ran from the PC. The Audigy PCI sound card obviously doesn't work on the Mini, so I just have two chanel plus sub. That has been fine since I switched to the Mini in 2007, but am updating to a new Mini in the summer and would like to upgrade my sound as well.
I also wouldn't be opposed to a USB soundcard that can drive the speakers. In fact, my wife would prefer smaller and less visible, ergo USB card hidden in the back.
Suggestions?

Differences between 3rd generation and 4th generation models?

I read an online review that stated the only difference is that the 4th generation model has a camera and the 3rd generation model does not. Can anyone confirm this?

Stop reading that review.
Front facing camera 960x720 (.7 megapixel)
Rear facing camera 640x480
Video recording
Faster CPU (much snapper than my iPod Touch)
Much MUCH better display
Microphone
Slightly better speaker output (actually has its own hole in case instead of fighting to come out the doc connector.
